I may need to order a six pack but the shipping ($16) is holding me back...times like these that I appreciate WW shipping

Hope it's fresh uni, the boxed/styro, to me, is the Japanese equivalent of plonk.
Should be bright orange, and taste of sweet tangy custard.

Have you had any of the '09 sold back late in '11? Interested in any comparison. That one was a bit spritzy to me, and the couple of bottles consumed here just didn't hit the mark for those tasting, so I passed on the recent offer.

Finally, an excuse to clear out some bottles. Christmas, err, Holiday potluck party at work on campus. Not huge, perhaps 25~30 or so total, but students are a thirsty lot I've found, and some not all that selective.
Tucked a few goodies in here as well for those that would enjoy.

We had a blind wine tasting on December 19, 2013 and opened four bottles of wine. The tasting included my wife, @robertbramblett and his bride. Every bottle was decanted in the traditional manner and was poured into a numbered bottle for the blind tasting and was served with cheese and crackers. Here are our notes from our tasting:

This was a find way back in the cellar at Geyser Peak(no lie). Never been released (hence the un-traditional label) but drinking really well. The Malbec is from AV and adds a nice fruit-forward component. The 2007 Geyser Peak Winery Red Wine is a rare wine that has never been released and is now available to the Wine.Woot community.

The Wellington and Elevensance were the favorites of the night.

Thanks for the interesting read, here's hoping wine.woot adds TN back to the shipping list soon!
